Solaris or OpenSolaris

[loran76]

Is it the same things - Solaris and OpenSolaris or is there any difference between them?
I have seen it on globaltap.com and decided to ask you, buddies.

It is confusing, isn't it? The opensolaris FAQ page may help ...

As I understand it's nearly the same, even globaltap.com offer it as the sane OS in their VPS deals.
In any case they are helpful in many ways.

WOW havent really seen a Solaris VPS before.
They are almost like Centos vs Red Hat in that Solaris is the Enterprise version, with updates provided by SUN and the possibility to buy support, the 'full version' if you will, while OpenSolaris is the version released to the community with no support or updates etc, just what is maintained by its open source developers.

I believe that you need to send message to them and ask what are the differences and what do they include in there.

Why are you asking? Are you interested in the advantages of using different solutions or what?

I believe if globaltap.com provides sunsolaris OS, their VPS deal is managed. Right?
In this case they will be helpful in its management.
And there is no difference between them, I mean Solaris and OpenSolaris.

Anyway I believe as globaltap.com provides managed services, they will be helpful in management their customers' web sites. Their VPS deals seem quire reliable for me and their support is responsive and fast.

Solaris ... I'd like to try it one day, globaltap seems quite good company to try it from them, VPS deals are not expensive and they offer much CPU, RAM and bandwidth for their customers.
